Retirement can be an exciting time. It may be the first time you’ve been free to take that big holiday, pursue your interests or simply slow down and spend time with loved ones.
For many, retirement is a transition that isn’t all about money and it won’t happen by itself. A good retirement plan should start 5-10 years before you stop work.
We help you by looking at your current situation and your goals, work out what you will need in retirement, and then build a plan with you for you to get there. We will also help keep you on track. Sometimes it’s hard to get where you want to be, and we will be realistic with you about your situation.
It’s complicated. We use our knowledge and experience to consider investments, superannuation, tax and Centrelink rules to ensure you make the most of your situation.
We can also help you explore options for transferring wealth effectively to leave a legacy for your family, including testamentary and family trusts.
When you get in touch with us, we set up a 60- 90-minute consultation that is at no cost to you. A little like a first date, we will get an idea of what you are looking for and whether we can help you. You get a sense of our expertise and whether you want to work with us.
Discuss your goals and current financial position
We will discuss your current situation and collect specific and relevant information from you so that we may better understand your background.
Define what advice you are looking for and discuss costs
Identifying exactly what you are looking for is the foundation for creating your plan. Your adviser will go over which specific areas of financial planning and advice you are seeking. They will also discuss costs upfront so that you know exactly what your expenses will be.
After we have met, we will check we have all the information we need from you about your situation and goals. Your financial planner will then develop a plan for you. This usually takes about two weeks to prepare as it is thorough and covers all options that are available to you.
After about two weeks, your financial adviser will be in touch to present their findings and recommendations and go into the details of your plan. They will explain why they have recommended the specific strategies and products and how the plan meets your needs and objectives.
If you accept the recommendations, you will work with your financial adviser and their support specialist to implement and manage your financial plan.
Over time your situation and goals, investment markets and legislation will change.
To make sure your financial plan is accurate and relevant going forward we will review our advice at least annually, or if your situation changes significantly, and adjust your plan accordingly. We will enter into an agreement with you to do this.
